Now with the fame, Lil Nas X is thinking about changing his name, because it’s too close to legendary rapper Nas.

On Twitter, Lil Nas X said he never meant any disrespect toward Nas and it’s a chance he may change his name in the future.

How about Kareem Abdul Jabbar X?
Or maybe Robert DeNiro X?

Those are original right?
